What Is Jaw Reduction?

Jaw reduction is a surgical procedure that reshapes the lower jawbone to reduce its width, angle, or prominence. The goal is to create a smoother, more proportionate jawline that complements the rest of the facial features.

At SOMA, jaw reduction procedures in Pasadena are customized to enhance facial harmony while preserving natural structure.

What Jaw Reduction Can Address

Jaw reduction is designed to improve concerns related to jawline shape and facial proportion.

  • Prominent jaw angles that may appear too strong or angular, softening the overall contour.
  • Facial imbalance between the upper and lower face, improving harmony and proportion.
  • Wide or square jawline, helping create a more tapered and refined appearance.
  • Desire for a more delicate or feminine lower facial structure.
  • Profile concerns where the jawline appears overly dominant.

Jaw Reduction vs Jaw Implants

Jaw reduction and jaw implants address opposite concerns but both improve facial balance. Your provider will help determine the most appropriate approach based on your goals and facial structure.

Jaw Reduction

Jaw reduction reshapes and reduces the size of the jaw, making it ideal for patients with a wider or more prominent lower face.

Jaw Implants

Jaw implants enhance projection and definition, making them suitable for patients with a weaker or less defined jawline.
